NAME

       XmFrame — The Frame widget class "XmFrame" "widget class" "Frame"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Frame.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Frame  is a very simple manager used to enclose a single work area child in a border drawn
       by Frame.  It uses the Manager class resources for border drawing  and  performs  geometry
       management so that its size always matches its child's outer size plus the Frame's margins
       and shadow thickness.

       Frame is most often used to enclose other managers when the  application  developer  wants
       the manager to have the same border appearance as the primitive widgets. Frame can also be
       used to enclose primitive widgets that do not support the same  type  of  border  drawing.
       This  gives  visual  consistency  when you develop applications using diverse widget sets.
       Constraint resources are used to designate a child as the Frame title, align its text, and
       control  its  vertical alignment in relation to Frame's top shadow. The title appears only
       at the top of the Frame.

       If the  Frame's  parent  is  a  Shell  widget,  the  XmNshadowType  resource  defaults  to
       XmSHADOW_OUT, and the Manager's XmNshadowThickness resource defaults to 1.

       If  the  Frame's  parent  is  not  a  Shell widget, the XmNshadowType resource defaults to
       XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN, and the Manager's XmNshadowThickness resource defaults to 2.

   Classes
       Frame inherits behavior and resources from the Core, Composite, Constraint, and  XmManager
       classes.

       The class pointer is xmFrameWidgetClass.

       The class name is XmFrame.

   New Resources
       The  following  table  defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify
       data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the  inherited  classes  to  set
       attributes  for  this  widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults
       file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify  one  of  the
       defined  values  for  a  resource  in  a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the
       remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any  underscores  between
       words).   The  codes  in  the  access  column indicate if the given resource can be set at
       creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is
       not applicable (N/A).
